This man they call Mizoguchi is an idiot. - Mizoguchi himself
In Mizoguchi's cinema, everything is beautiful: the landscapes are breathtaking; the faces are photogenically eloquent; the camera movements are fluid and complex; the black and white (more precisely, black and silver) cinematography is subtle and dense of texture; the compositions are so precise it's as if space itself were being cut along a dotted line... One of the greatest practitioners of pure mise-en-scene the cinema has ever known and the master of the heroically sustained long take. - Gilbert Adair
Books from Alibris: Kenji Mizoguchi
